Plan real-world-data research and municipal health analyses, using SQL, R, Python and SAS for data processing, statistical analysis, reporting, and healthcare R&D implementation.
This data scientist role is assigned to DeSC Healthcare within DeNA’s healthcare business. It supports data utilization projects that use information provided by health insurance societies and local governments to conduct research and analysis related to health promotion. The work may contribute findings to services and businesses for consumers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, and municipalities.
Depending on experience, expertise, suitability, and business needs, the primary assignment is expected to be either database research using real-world data for pharmaceutical and medical device companies, or analysis planning and report development addressing municipalities’ health issues. The role also joins the R&D evidence-creation team. The balance between primary duties and R&D work is determined by the assigned themes and business conditions.
Day-to-day responsibilities include organizing client and stakeholder requirements into analyzable issues and specifications; preparing research plans, specifications, and analysis definition documents; processing, aggregating, statistically analyzing, and visualizing data with SQL, R, Python, and SAS; interpreting results; preparing deliverables; reporting to relevant parties; making proposals and advancing projects with sales, business, development, and external stakeholders; and managing project progress, quality, and risks.
For database research, the role considers research designs for real-world data, prepares research implementation plans and statistical analysis plans, reports findings to clients, and communicates evidence through journal submissions and academic presentations. For municipal analysis, it plans and proposes work based on local health issues and policy trends, presents results to municipalities and related parties, develops broadly reusable analysis reports and methods, and advances analysis and research with academia and government organizations.
Within R&D, the role applies expertise in epidemiology and public health to create evidence from healthcare data and evaluate estimation and prediction methods. Responsibilities span research design, proof of concept, and conversion of outcomes into technical assets, followed by implementation with product and business divisions and dissemination through academic presentations and papers. The work involves a database of approximately 25 million people that combines anonymized processed information held by DeSC Healthcare with partner data, including the biases, missing values, and imperfections found in real-world data.
The posting does not specify required education, certifications, years of experience, salary, or employment duration. The work location is DeNA’s Shibuya office or a company-approved home or equivalent remote-work location in Tokyo. The location notice states that indoor smoking is prohibited, with an indoor smoking-permitted area. The selection process is generally a casual interview if requested, followed by manager, supervising executive, and HR head interviews; the number of interviews may change, and a 30-minute HR meeting is held before the final interview to confirm the situation and resolve questions.
